Gray Dragon Scale Mail

One of the most popular items in Nethack. One even worth expending a wish on, though one may be created by wearing the scales of a gray dragon and reading a non-cursed scroll of enchant armor (for best results, Take off all other armor before reading the scroll). At +0, the scale mail grants 9 points of AC decrease, which in the strange AD&D armor system is a good thing. This is a great improvement over the basic set of scales, which only grants 3. Both scales and armor grant intrinsic magic resistance, a relatively rare intrinsic quite helpful in the latter stages of the game.
